Chapter 1630: Chapter 1578–1579: Alliance Hierarch’s Stance? Who Can Fathom!

Allies can sometimes be very reliable, but too much trust can inadvertently lead to them stabbing you in the back.

Whether these allies from the Jade Emperor Lineage can be depended upon to stand with them at this time will depend on the strength of their cooperation.

Thus, the actions of Wan Fayi this time are in harmony with the thoughts of some Daoist Monarchs; they also wish to take this opportunity to see just how solid the alliance among these newly-ascended Daoist Monarchs is, and if it truly is an unbreakable alliance.

After all, unity in prosperity and scattering in adversity are not uncommon.

If the alliance of the newly-ascended Daoist Monarchs is indeed unbreakable and remains indomitable in times of crisis, then these individuals will need to proceed cautiously.

On the other hand, if they are unable to truly unite and are merely a disorganized mob, it means there’s no need to waste time contemplating these matters.

“What should our stance be?” Cangyang asked with a question that carried deep implications.

Although they seldom involve themselves in the affairs of the Heterodox Alliance and are indifferent to many matters, this does not mean he lacks wisdom, obviously sensing a point of doubt: what should be the stance of the Heterodox Alliance?

Based on the current situation, they hold enmity towards the Jade Emperor Lineage and, as allies of the Shenxiao Lineage, they should be united against the Jade Emperor Lineage.

However, this is not set in stone, because if another level of division is considered, their Alliance Hierarch is also one of the top True Immortals, just one step away from the level of Daoist Monarch, and he too shall become a newly-ascended Daoist Monarch.

It’s not that their alliance with the Shenxiao Lineage means they can obtain the Heavenly Authority from these ancient Daoist Monarchs or gain a greater share of the heavens and earth.

This means that once Zhao Baiyang truly steps into the realm of Daoist Monarch, he will have common interests with these newly-ascended Daoist Monarchs, all needing to wrest authority from the established Daoist Monarchs like Pei Xuanjing.

This means that although they appear to be allies now, if you really get down to it, there is a conflict of interests between the two sides, a struggle for authority.

Under such interests, the original enmity between the Jade Emperor and Zhao Baiyang is insignificant.

In the past, for the sake of ascending in Heaven and Earth and becoming a Tao-Certifying True Immortal, they could temporarily set aside their original conflict of interests to work together cooperatively.

So now, if there is a greater interest between the two sides, it’s not necessary to be at loggerheads; they can temporarily set aside past grievances and unite once more, as before, to take cooperative action.

“Stance? What stance!” Yu Yiyao’s eyes sparkled as she scoffed, “We’re not even True Immortals. What right do we have to question such matters?”

She had no answer to Cangyang’s question because even she did not know what her master’s thoughts were; her own speculations meant nothing to her master.

True Immortals are unfathomable; each True Immortal is a legend among legends, with their own unique path.

Her master, such a character, is now just one step away from being a Daoist Monarch, but his thoughts are not something she can guess at.

After all, her master is not some ordinary True Immortal; unlike other newly-ascended Daoist Monarchs, her master has connections with the Longevity Taoist Monarch, and nobody knows if there is any tacit agreement between them.

Moreover, others only fear the Longevity Taoist Monarch based on hearsay, having never truly witnessed the terror of his existence; how could they comprehend his invincibility?

Indeed, the strength of these newly-ascended Daoist Monarchs is growing, and they have more and more allies, but can they really contend with the Longevity Taoist Monarch?

Sometimes, Yu Yiyao wonders if her master already has the confidence to step into the realm of Daoist Monarch, and is just biding his time, observing the situation around him.

After all, the current situation in the world is ultimately a competition between the strong Daoist Monarchs; only those at the level of Daoist Monarch are qualified to play the game and dictate the changing landscape of the world.

Apart from Daoist Monarchs, no one else is qualified to be a player; regardless of your status, without the combat power of a Daoist Monarch, you can only be a piece in the game.

Nonetheless, there are some individuals, like Zhao Baiyang and others, who are just one step away from True Immortal. Though they cannot be the players, they have a certain autonomy, to decide whether they want to enter the game or watch from the sidelines.

Even the many Daoist Monarchs recognize them because these individuals are some distance from being Daoist Monarchs; they are destined to be unqualified to take advantage even if the Daoist Monarchs decide the winner.

Yet, the existence of these individuals cannot be ignored; even within the Daoist Monarchs’ chess game, they are powerful enough to influence the situation, and thus, the Daoist Monarchs do not wish to easily push them to the opposing side.

Therefore, Yu Yiyao speculates whether her master is precisely grasping this limit, now just right in observation, waiting for the situation to change, choosing the best moment to make a move.
